Monon Haskells Depot
Monon Haskells depot in the summer of 1970. Photo was taken by Kevin Horn who was working the relief job here which included one 3rd shift position at Dyer. Haskells was at the crossing of Monons Michigan City branch and Grand Trunks South Bend subdivision. Interchange track was in the N/E quadrant and this depot was located in the N/E quadrant as well. Behind the depot, to the north, there was once an old caboose body. It was used for a handcar house and car inspector's office. This should be here as of this date but out of photo at left.
Haskells was founded in 1855, when Samuel Brush opened a store. Mr. Brush was also postmaster. Also known as Haskell's Station, named for the family of James Haskell, who settled in the area around 1834. Haskell's Station appeared in the early railroad timetables.
At this location today, the double-tracked CN South Bend sub still runs but the Monon tracks and depot are long gone.
